Sometimes a fail is just a fail

A group of Irish designers have illustrated some of the most ridiculous things they have heard from clients.

Anybody who has dealt with design issues will have great sympathy. The funny thing about design is that it’s not a one man’s meat is another man’s poison situation. It’s a good vs. bad situation. (Side issue: If E.B. White were alive today, he couldn’t call a book “One Man’s Meat.” Now it sounds absolutely filthy.)

Anyway, back to design. The Irish designers’ examples are both beautiful and funny. I like “Irish people can’t read italics” and “Could you solutionise that for me?” though I actually have great sympathy for “I”m the target market and I don’t like it.”
